Wife 2003 Exploer has a cracked Applique. the crack is from the back
window down to the ford logo. total about 2 inches.

Been reading on the internet and I guess this is what happen. Not sure
what an Applique is.  How important is it to have this fixed? When I
read the whold TSB sounds like they are just painting over it and not
replaceing the applique.
Will the back window fall out? Does not look like it will. I don't
want to pay to have it fixed just so it can crack again in a year or 2
since it seem this seems to happen to alot of people.

Ford wants me to buy part# 1L2Z78402A30CAPTM for $58.71
and 1L2z7842528AA for $28.80
Then, get this goto Chevy dealer in town to have them install it and
paint it. Which i know that will cost some more money.

From TSB

exhibit a damaged/cracked plastic applique without liftgate glass
damage.

ACTION:
Replace the applique as necessary. It is no longer necessary to
replace the entire liftgate glass assembly to correct this condition.
